Zithromax is a unique antibiotic...It has an incredibly long half life (something like 50 or 60 hours) which is why you only take it for five days. You take 2 pills on day one and 1 pill on days 2 through 5. It continues to stay in the body for about 5 days after you stop taking it, being metabolized very slowly by the liver....
If you took E on day 7 or 8 after starting Zithromax there still could be an interaction between E and Zithromax even though you stopped taking it because the Zithromax is still in your body. Its a powerful but nasty antibiotic. Makes me feel weird.
Augmentin is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulunate potassium. It can be nasty on the stomach but is not metabolized by the P450 cytochrome pathway. Therefore, it should not present the same potential interaction problem that other antibiotics might have with E. Taking augmentin with food will help to minimize stomach problems and actually results in better absorption of the drug.
If you are sick, give some thought to waiting until you are fully recovered before you roll. Just a gentle suggestion. (I have actually ignored my own advice on this so i understand the temptation)
Hope this helps..PLUR TO ALL
